Structured, practical guidance grounded in real research and hiring experience. I’m a researcher with experience across field research, think tanks, experimental work, and policy-facing roles in India. I work at the intersection of economics, public policy, and applied research, and have collaborated with diverse teams on projects spanning gender, development, and labor markets. I mentor students and early-career professionals exploring research pathways, including RA roles, higher studies (Master’s/PhD), thesis development, and positioning for research-oriented careers. My approach is practical, structured, and grounded in real hiring and field experience.
